Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Up to 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Chop your clean potatoes in half then quarters (8 pieces in all) and add them to a large pot. Pour cold water over the potatoes, just enough to cover. Add a fat pinch of salt for a bit of flavor, put a lid on your pot, and place it over high heat. Boil your potatoes until they're fork tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot, off the heat.
- Add the remaining ingredients, adding just a splash of milk at a time, and use a masher, the type with the s-shaped curves, to smash your potatoes. Leave a few chunks. They add character. Don't over mix, or your mashed potatoes will get gummy.
- Stir and taste for seasonings. If your mixture is too stiff, you can add a bit more milk. Don't be afraid to look through your spices and add whatever strikes your fancy. Get ready for compliments.
